SWTOR Addendum

There’s a bit of commentary over here on Gamasutra regarding Bioware’s upcoming MMO. I spoke of my concerns here, and now it appears that I have a new one. If the game is truly the equivalent of several traditional single player Bioware games, I’m going to be very, very annoyed that they didn’t just develop and release them that way. I’ll be especially annoyed if the game uses the extraordinarily dumb subscription model.

Very dissapointing. Of course the article didn’t expand how the premise of this game would work in an MMO (and I am very curious about that) and I don’t even think they know yet. But, yeah, if the game experience ends up being X #classes single player RPG with other people enjoying a great Bioware single player RPG around them, then, meh.
It all comes down to how they “connect” the player base.
